My guess, CJO at DL and once they heard the slowed down hiring from the norm, “crap, shouldn’t have resigned.” This is the same person that is always chasing the greener grass and won’t be happy anywhere anyway.

I know someone who went from Big Freight to Legacy A to B and now CJO at C. They are convinced each move will be the right one and they'll be happy finally.

This sort of stupidity is only possible in a job market like we have now.

Yep. And when (not if) the music stops a lot of these guys are going to be kicking themselves for giving up their seniority at Legacy X in search of greener pastures (which don't exist, anyway) at Legacy Y.

Would you take you back? I wouldn’t.

“Oh you found a better deal, then got buyers remorse days later? Too bad.”

Though it may seem like that would be the case I have seen examples of the airline working with people through situations similar to this. They invest a lot in training a NH, so especially in today’s competitive labor market- they’re probably more inclined to keep you on then to lock the door behind you as long as- big if- you’ve kept your nose clean up to that point.

If you’re a known problem child, on the other hand, well…

What we do can be more readily reduced to numbers: If the company has invested, it's probably worth getting them on the line and filling open flight slots for as long as possible. It is really just numbers moreso than in a corporate environment where a bad apple hanging out in the copy room or at the water cooler can infect others. Let's face it, there's only a couple places someone leaving UAL can realistically go anyway...this assumes one is not a "bad apple" - those need to go.
